The project promotes the development of a sustainable and energy-efficient urban environment by creating Positive Energy Districts – areas where the amount of energy produced exceeds the energy consumed. It integrates smart energy and mobility technologies to improve the urban energy system and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Significance of the Project for Riga Cities […]
An environmental and air quality monitoring station has been installed in Ķīpsala, enabling residents to track air cleanliness and other environmental factors in real time. Measurement data is displayed on a public screen at Zunda Embankment and is also available to the municipality and researchers, helping to identify pollution sources and plan actions to improve […]
GEO RĪGA is a geographic information system established by the Riga Municipality that brings together and publishes geospatial data held by the local government. It is a platform that provides access to information about the administrative territory of Riga for residents, businesses, researchers, neighbourhood activists, and other interest groups, facilitating data usage and promoting transparency […]
Urban ReLeaf engages residents in urban greening and climate change adaptation by promoting their participation in urban planning and improving environmental monitoring. The digital tools developed within the project help better understand and manage green infrastructure, improving city sustainability and resident well-being. The Significance of the Project for Riga Riga needs to strengthen its green […]
A smart lighting system has been implemented in Ķīpsala to reduce electricity consumption and improve the quality of the urban environment. This solution combines low-energy LED luminaires, motion sensors, and smart controllers to adjust light intensity based on pedestrian and vehicle movement. The Significance of the Project for Riga Riga is actively introducing energy-efficient and […]
The project introduced an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system for wheelchair lifts across Riga City Municipality. The system enables remote monitoring and data analysis of lift operations, allowing timely maintenance, increased user safety, and optimized maintenance costs. The Significance of the Project for Riga Before the project’s implementation, lift maintenance was carried out twice […]
The project established a system for measuring vehicle-generated noise levels in the urban environment using noise sensors and video surveillance cameras. The solution enables the collection and analysis of data on noise sources and intensity, providing a basis for developing proposals to reduce noise pollution. The Significance of the Project for Riga Residents of central […]
The project developed a mobile video analytics solution for detecting tire overload and overheating in cargo vehicles, replacing the less efficient “weigh-in-motion” technology. The Significance of the Project for Riga Cargo vehicles exceeding permissible axle loads cause significant damage to the city’s road surfaces, bridges, and overpasses, while also contributing to increased noise and air […]
The project introduced a new public transport recognition system at the intersection of Ulmaņa Gatve and Vaiņodes Street in Riga. The system automatically identifies and distinguishes between buses and trolleybuses, allowing traffic lights to prioritize each transport mode separately. This innovation ensures smoother and more efficient traffic flow across the intersection. The Significance of the […]
The project developed a digital solution for monitoring the operation of public transport lanes and “green wave” corridors using GPS data from intercity, international, and Riga city public transport routes. The system enables tracking of actual travel speeds, identifying delays, and responding promptly to traffic disruptions, thereby improving the overall efficiency of public transport operations. […]
